Options for surgery

What would you like to change?

Rhinoplasty can change the shape and size of the nose. Where appropriate, correction of the nasal septum may also be considered to improve breathing.

Bridge and profile

A hump on the bridge, a crooked nose or a nasal size that is out of proportion with the face.

Tip and proportions

A protruding or drooping tip and the relationship between the tip, bridge and the rest of the face.

Breathing and the septum

A deviated septum and difficulty breathing. Aesthetic and functional correction may be considered in the same operation.

From consultation to recovery

A clear plan, step by step.

  1. Discussion and examination

    Discuss nasal appearance, breathing and your goals with Dr. Kranjčec. The examination includes an assessment of your nose and health.

  2. An individual plan

    Agree on the scope of surgery, necessary assessments and preparation. The expected outcome, limitations and possible risks are explained.

  3. Surgery and follow-up

    After surgery, you receive care instructions and arrange follow-up appointments. Your return to activities is tailored to your recovery.

Recovery and expectations

Allow time for recovery.

Your nose changes gradually as swelling settles. Plan time for recovery and follow the instructions provided after surgery.

  1. The first days

    Swelling, bruising, congestion and discomfort can occur. Follow your doctor’s instructions for nasal care and medication.

  2. Returning to activities

    Discuss your return to work, exercise and other activities with your surgeon. Follow-up visits help monitor healing and progress.

  3. The final result

    The nasal shape, particularly the tip, gradually becomes more defined. The final appearance can take up to a year to develop.

Questions before your first consultation.

Book a consultation
How long does surgery take and what anaesthesia is used?

Rhinoplasty usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of surgery, and is most often performed under i.v. anaesthesia. The exact plan for surgery and your stay afterwards is agreed individually.

Can the same procedure also improve breathing?

Where clinically appropriate, aesthetic surgery can be combined with correction of the nasal septum (septorhinoplasty). As an ENT specialist, Dr. Zoran Kranjčec assesses nasal function and treatment options during the examination.

What can I expect after surgery?

Swelling, bruising, congestion and discomfort can occur at first. You will receive instructions about care, medication and follow-up. The intensity of symptoms and recovery time vary between individuals.

At what age can rhinoplasty be performed?

In general, surgery is considered after nasal growth is complete. Suitability and timing are assessed individually, alongside a discussion of your health and expectations.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

Surgical prices are available in the clinic’s price list, which is in Croatian. The scope of the procedure and what the price includes will be clarified during your consultation after the examination.
